Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of the sheet.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and ground black pepper, then place them on the wire rack skin-side up.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

Step 4

Brush a generous layer of the sauce onto the chicken thighs, making sure to coat them evenly. Reserve half of the sauce for glazing later.

Step 5

Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the oven and brush another layer of the reserved sauce over the thighs.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
